Shocking Celebrity Tattoos and the Secret Messages Behind Them

Lady Gaga

This enormous death moth tattoo has several meanings on top of Gaga's actual justification for getting the piece. The death moth symbolizes the death and rebirth of a person, often a turning point piece for individuals who seek to change their lives in major ways.

Halsey

This singer/songwriter broke down the meanings of many of her tattoos to iHeart Radio recently. Evidently, the upside-down horseshoe tattoo on her shoulder is a statement about bad luck. According to Halsey, she doesn't need good luck to get where she's going, so she's accepting the risk of having bad luck.
